Why Solar Cleaning Becomes an O&M Decision

Solar cleaning is not only about appearance. It affects energy performance, maintenance planning, labor deployment, and the practicality of keeping large solar assets in a repeatable operating cycle.

Yield Protection

Soiling can reduce usable output and make energy performance less predictable. The right cleaning workflow helps protect generation value across the year.

Operational Practicality

The question is not only how to clean, but how to clean repeatedly across real site conditions, access limits, and daily scheduling constraints.

Safer Access to Difficult Areas

Rooftops, wide arrays, and hard-to-reach solar assets often create access and coordination challenges for traditional methods.

Is the Solaris C60V Right for Your Site?

The C60V is not positioned as a one-size-fits-all drone. It is typically a strong fit when you need a mobile solar cleaning workflow, clear site-to-site deployment logic, and the freedom of an onboard-tank system.

Industrial Rooftops

A strong fit for large industrial rooftop zones where hose routing is inconvenient and operators need flexible movement between roof sections.

Utility-Scale Solar Plants

Well suited to utility-scale sites that need practical daily coverage, structured cleaning cycles, and mobile deployment across multiple work zones.

Hard-to-Access Solar Assets

Useful when conventional cleaning access is slow, risky, or operationally awkward.

Rapid Deployment Scenarios

A good option for teams that want fast setup, repeatable operating logic, and a solution that can move with the work.

Why Choose the Solaris C60V

Solar buyers need more than a spray tank. They need a cleaning system that fits site conditions, workflow planning, route control, and after-sales support.

Free-Flight Onboard-Tank Workflow

The C60V carries its own water, making it practical for sites where tethered hose management is inconvenient or inefficient.

Built for Solar Site Operations

It is positioned around industrial rooftops, utility-scale solar plants, hard-to-access assets, and rapid deployment requirements.

Flexible Operating Modes

The system supports Manual mode, AB-Point mode, and fully automated route planning modes so teams can match the workflow to the site.

Selection Guide: C60V vs C80

Both are part of EAUAV’s solar cleaning system portfolio. The right choice depends on how water is delivered and how the site is operated.

Solaris C60V Free-flight
  • Rooftops where tethered hose routing is inconvenient.
  • Utility sites benefiting from mobile block-by-block deployment.
  • Workflow planned around flight cycles, refill rhythms, and battery turnaround.
Vertex C80 Hose-tethered
  • Sites where hose routing is highly practical and repetitive.
  • Ground level has a stable and accessible water supply.
  • Preference for continuous water feed without landing to refill.
Final Note: If your priority is avoiding hose complexity, start with the C60V. If continuous water feed is paramount, compare it with the C80.

Choose the Spray Layout That Fits Your Site

The C60V platform offers two spray layout options under the same package structure. Choose according to site clearance, panel type, and operating preference.

C60V four downward-swing nozzle layout for solar cleaning
C60V folding extension rod with two high-pressure nozzles

A 4 Downward-Swing Nozzles

This layout uses four downward-swing nozzles with a confirmed 2.5 MPa single-pump pressure and 4 pumps. It is the more compact and more conventional spray layout on the C60V platform.

✓
Typically preferred when: Buyers want a compact underbody layout and a straightforward default configuration for rooftop or utility-scale deployment.

B Folding Extension Rod + 2 Nozzles

This layout uses two 7.5 MPa nozzles mounted on a folding extension rod. After takeoff, the rod folds diagonally downward so the aircraft body can fly higher while keeping the nozzles approximately 1–2 m from the panel surface.

✓
Typically preferred when: Operators want the aircraft body to stay higher above the panels while keeping the spray points closer to the working surface.

* Both spray layout options are available under the same package structure. Selection is based on site fit and operating preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of solar sites is the Solaris C60V designed for?
  • The Solaris C60V is designed primarily for industrial rooftops, utility-scale solar plants, hard-to-access solar assets, and rapid deployment scenarios where free-flight cleaning is operationally practical.
  • Buyers typically choose this architecture when tethered hose management is inconvenient, when fast repositioning matters, or when site access makes free-flight deployment more practical.
  • A generic tank platform does not automatically become a solar cleaning solution. The C60V is positioned around solar site fit, operating workflow, route planning, daily output logic, onboarding, and after-sales support.
  • The comparison becomes important when water logistics and hose routing are major decision factors. If the site has stable ground water supply and practical hose routing, the C80 may be the better operational fit.
  • Buyers typically start with the 4-nozzle layout when they want a compact and more conventional default configuration. The extension-rod layout is typically preferred when higher aircraft standoff and a lower spray point are more practical for the site.
  • The recommended workflow is a 2-person team: one person for flight operation and route control, and one person for turnaround, refill, battery handling, and ground coordination.
  • The confirmed reference figures are 200 m² per flight, 1,000 m² per hour typical, and up to 8,000 m² per day based on an 8-hour day.
  • Flight duration is 8–18 minutes, depending on operating conditions. Charging time is typically 10–15 minutes.
  • The starter deployment is planned around the C60V aircraft, 2 batteries, 1 charger, onboarding, and core support coverage. Final scope is confirmed at quotation stage.
  • Confirmed support items include online onboarding and training, a dedicated engineer support group, rapid spare parts support, and a 12-month core component warranty.
  • Buyers should prepare site type, cleanable area, layout photos or map, panel brand and module type, water availability, soiling condition, cleaning target, and whether they want a spray layout recommendation or a C60V vs C80 recommendation.
